LibreTime is a powerful open-source radio automation software that enables users to manage and schedule audio content for broadcasting. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing LibreTime on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation process, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install apache2 php mysql-server php-mysql
sudo apt install -y curl ffmpeg flac git lame libavcodec-extra libapache2-mod-php libav-tools libimage-exiftool-perl libsox-fmt-mp3 libsox-fmt-all sox
Download the latest version of LibreTime by running the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime.git /usr/local/src/libretime
Next, navigate to the LibreTime directory and install the software by running the command below:
cd /usr/local/src/libretime
sudo ./install -fiap
The installation process may take a few minutes. Once the installation is complete, the script will prompt you to edit the configuration file:
nano /etc/default/airtime
Set the following variables in the configuration file:
RUNTIME_USER=www-data
RUNTIME_GROUP=www-data
Save and close the file.
Create a new virtual host configuration file for LibreTime by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/libretime.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName mylibretime.com # Replace mylibretime.com with your domain name
DocumentRoot /var/www/libretime/public
<Directory /var/www/libretime/public>
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the configuration file.
Enable the virtual host and reload Apache by running the following commands:
sudo a2ensite libretime.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://mylibretime.com (replace mylibretime.com with your domain name). You should see the LibreTime login page.
Login using the default username and password: admin and admin.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LibreTime on Linux Mint Latest. You can now use LibreTime to manage and schedule your audio content for broadcasting.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
